  1. Well done & a very good likeness.
  2. Lovely work on that one Jeff,I also like the grain of that Ply
  3. Yes over here it means totally committed.
  4. Nicely done Wayne looks good.
  5. Made this one for a friend of mine, It is for his grandson who is a mad soccer player & needs somewhere to display his ribbons .The centre piece is a Steve Good pattern , Cheers Peter
  6. Lovely work Steve. I was looking at that pattern a few days ago & intend to cut it soon.
  7. Rob you made a nice job of that one ,Like the backer.
  8. Well done Dick, beautiful job she is going to love both it & you.
  9. Think I would either leave it natural or paint it white .Can't beat white for a wedding & it would really stand out against that background.
  10. Lovely job Dick she is going to love that one.
  11. If the letters are big enough I usualll give a light smear of glue then I put a few 1/2 "screws in from the back & countersink the heads as I don't trust glueing to a painted surface.
  12. Beautiful work Dave .One day I might try something like that ,lots of practising first though.
  13. Rob I used Radiata Pine for the inlay only wood I had to give it a good contrast.
  14. Silky oak is an Australian Hardwood & is of the Grevillea Family (Grevillea Robusta). I managed to get an old fireplace mantle piece & when I stripped the paint away this is what I found,a very pretty looking timber
  15. This is my first go at inlay work but I have a long way to go to match Dave .I quite enjoyed doing this one. The inlay pattern came from Steve Good & the fretwork pattern on the underside of the lid is one of Sue Mey's. The main part of the box is silky oak & the lighter coloured strip is pine
  16. Good job on the self portrait Kev.
  17. Very neat well done.
  18. I have made some firewood myself ,Its all a learning curve & I try to learn from it & not make the same mistake again.Trouble is there is always a different mistake to test you.
  19. Well done Marg & nice clean cutting.
  20. Beautiful work Kevin.
  21. I use a wine bottle with a screw cap & just give the top a wipe before rescrewing the cap back on.The best part is emptying the original contents.
  22. I clean it the best I can & add some vaseline. Hope that is all the trouble is Marg.
  23. Beautiful work on that one Hans would love to try that myself .Pity you don't know where it came from.
  24. Same thing happened to me Lew & that is why I painted the Blue Eagle one that I posted recently, I just could not get the repair to blend in.
  25. Been saying this for a while now but really must bite the bullet & give it a go. Lovely work Dave.
